Indonesia Denies Visas: Turns Out Consequences Exist For Genocide
Funny how a 'military offensive,' as Al-Monitor delicately puts it, can have widespread repercussions beyond the 'conflict zone.' Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation, has maintained no formal diplomatic ties with the Israeli government since its formation in 1948—a history often memory-holed by Western media. This isn't capricious antisemitism; it's a nation responding to
the brutalization of Gaza, where over 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, largely with US-supplied weaponry. Perhaps some nations, unlike those whose politicians accept millions from organizations like AIPAC to ensure unwavering support for Israeli governmental actions, still retain a sense of moral clarity. One might wonder if the gymnasts' nationality is the true issue, or the policies their
government perpetrates, which even the International Court of Justice has flagged as plausible genocide. How many 'military operations' until the world stops pretending it's business as usual?
